- So I drove the new Audi A4. As a two time Audi A4 owner, I might be a fanboy. If you support what I do, please share my emagazine www.evomalaysia.com amongst your friends or subscribe and share to my channel. Thanks!
Finally a Msian car reviewer who explains what needs explaining, uses articulated words perfectly. Very satisfied watching this. But where's the technical info?
+Norman Zainal i figured technical info you can google it faster than i can talk. So i focus on things not written in brochures
Bobby Ang Yup.
Hi Bobby. Audi A4 2020 full review please..
Tq 👍
Me too! I think every Audi has a different look! I personally am a HUGE fan of Audi. People who say every Audi is the same don't even have a brain. The dynamics, the fun to drive each car, the looks, the sound, everything. Nice review man! :D
very good, detailed and objective opinion about the A4, even though you are a Audi fan, you still explain all the pros and cons and personal and overall impression.. and your English is better than the average English/American commentator... 'chapeau' ! keep up the good work
Agree with u on putting carpet on the top part of the boot. Not only look premium but also a sound treatment.
The fisheye type lens makes this car look like a bezza at certain angles
Hey I liked your review and how straight and unfiltered you deliver your output for the car.
The model that you drove was not very high specced and maybe that's why you didnt like the interior so much.
I believe you can spec it and make it look more special and luxurious.
I like that review, even it is old now and I have my Audi half a year. But you mention details I didn´t even know or ever think about. Thanks for that! And if you are in Germany some day you can testdrive my A4 on German Autobahn for sure, but it´s an Avant ;-)
most professional review of an A4, I subscribed
Great Review!! Very much attention to detail. Greetings from Germany
Just found your channel and enjoying your comments about the details of the car you're reviewing. So far, just one suggestion: when recording the driving session you could use a personal mic, closer to you. Sometimes it's hard to hear you, the mic catches too much ambient noise. Keep up the good work ;)
Would you rather get the C Class W205/S205 or the Audi A4 (Avant) B9 & Why would you pick it?
BTW you can configure the car however you like in Europe, brown leather seats, wooden trimmed dash etc
+The Sbh i like thr new C Class Estate a lot
I agree with you that this car looks different from the previous model - other reviewers see it as being almost identical, go figure.
Reminds me of Chris harris compared the audi with bently once..both brand owned by vw so it kinda make you feel similar while at it in many ways..unless that person hv no clue abt the motoring world😊
Bobby ..those are basic seats. Try the sport seat like the one in S Line or the one with red stitching in the Black Optic version. It look much better than those.
Hey isn't the 2019 A4 Quattro already? I've downloaded the e-brochure. Oh ya, is there any other option for detailing apart from that dull gray plastic? The e-catalouge had a wood finish to it
Hi bobby..how r u..what do you think about the bmw 340i its got inline 6 turbo with rear wheel drive. how is it compare to Audi A4 B9 as both in same price range..
+raj 08 get the 340i!
Thank u bobby :)
Though I like the A4, it's hard to pick it over the very well specced 330e. What would be your choice Bobby?
+Shaun Lee it's an unfair comparison, because one is tax free, can't blame the A4 for that as our market has such a system. The 330e will be a lot more costly if subjected to the same tax rates. That's why i would rather Audi bring in the A4 with the full monty, so that in time when people saw the A4, they'll know this guy spent 300k on that car because it has 252hp, quattro, all the bells and whistles etc. A good example will be the Range Rover Evoque, it's basically Audi Q3 size, but it's RM100k more, but because of the design, the well specced interior, people accepted its premium price point and many bought it as well.
Totally understand where you're coming from. Since they can't compete with their locally assembled rivals price wise they should focus on something else. But if one were in the market for a compact exec with a budget of around 250k, a comparison between these two is almost inevitable despite being unfair towards Audi. And yes, the 330e without all the incentives would've been priced close to 400k so I guess that makes it a better value proposition?
Shaun Lee yes, a much better value proposition. But if you look at the basics of what makes a comfortable, quiet riding sports sedan, the A4's lowest wind noise in class, solid cabin, and that magic carpet-like ride is above it's par. The transmission's fuel saving tech is rather annoying, robs away of what would've been a flawless drive. The 3 series's design in my opinion will last longer though, and when coupled with BMW's excellent network, free service, concierge service (i have a video on that) it's pretty obvious there's little competition
You summed it up perfectly when you mentioned that it feels closer to a VW than an Audi!
I found that statement the least understandable honestly.
If the wide centre 'vent is actually just a diffuser, why can it be opened or closed with the second touch sensitive button?
What is purpose of the small LED left of passenger temp control?
Optional Virtual cockpit is great selling point, but really what is the point if you've got large centre screen? Or Audi remove this and make Virtual cockpit as standard.?
I cant 'fist' mine, no deep storage here. No gun storage in UK market.
I like this guy.. Subscribed!!
Hi Bobby, a front wheel car like Audi A4 does it accelarates faster or slower if compare to rear wheel like BMW 3 serie?
Most would argue a rwd car have more traction at the rear during acceleration because the car's weight shifts to the rear and presses down on the wheels to give max traction to launch off. But that argument is on the basis of traction availability and weight transfer. If i put two front engine, front transmission cars with the same weight, same engine, same gearbox, same aerodynamic attributes and assume traction is not an issue at all, front wheel drive will be faster ever so slightly because less drive train loss. Power doesnt need to be transfered from the front to rear via the long shaft. But in practical terms, under real life scenarios, because when we accelerate, weight transfer will always favor real wheel drive as the front will have less traction than the rear. Best configuration? Rear engine rear wheel drive to directly power the wheels with more traction. But this argument is also flawed when you scale it up to 300-500hp cars with AWD because at the end of the day its traction. :)
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thank you for the detailed and technical answer. I am driving a BMW 320i F30 and am considering this new Audi A4 :) But in Singapore the Audi A4 comes with an ugly 16 inch rim
"none of the british journalist point that".i like that statement sir..they make us feel they really good, but they're not actually.
+Mohd Shahril Jaaidin not only they didn't point out, but it's so obvious that they blatantly pitched the car against C Class and 3 ser and always wins ... i know the car drives well but it doesn't drive as well as the new XF, and it's no where near the A4's pliancy, in fact no car comes close to the A4's pliancy for now. Yet all of them never mentioned the super tight rear seats.
"im gunna fist the car" 😂😂😂 This guy funny 15:18
This guy fists.
I can’t believe he said the front of the car has plastic in case the car hit some idiot who don’t know how to cross the road lol
I believe that compartment is for the umbrella
Audi lit
Will we get 2018 AUDI RS3 SEDAN here in Malaysia? Or we have to order and import? Will it reach myr 400k full spec?
Hi Bobby, should I buy second hand A4 B9 2018 in 2024?
187,000km B9 owner from Singapore start-stop traffic conditions.
Very reliable indeed.
Go for it.
Audi A4 2020 full review... Next
Tq 👍
how about the gearbox??? B8 was using a cvt (cvt in a premium car...pffftttt) B9 finally a DCT, in real life driving experience did u notice the difference??? which one u prefer????
+CWSern B8 1.8T uses CVT but 2.0T using DSG 6. :) in real life driving, B9 is supremely comfortable, drives super well, shifts are ok in the high performance 2.0TFSI but slightly annoying in the fuel efficient version that disengages and reengages back the transmission everytime you coast. The B8 felt more heft, heavier, (felt much heavier) but also felt the premium heft of it. Whereas the B9 everything is just lighy
Wonderful review! 👍👍
How would you rate this to the C200 or BMW 320i or 330e (same price point as the A4)?
I do agree that the interiors are too sombre, but how does it compare in terms of driving experience and feel to the others?
+Boon Khong Foo it's quieter than C Class or 3-Series or Lexus, handles nicer than C-Class, larger than all of them except Passat B8. Not as smooth as C-Class or 3-Series because of the fuel efficient transmission that has a coasting function that engages and disengages. Faster than most of them except the 330e. Suspension rides brilliantly, ahead of the rest but only marginally better than the 330e. Interior build and solidity is well ahead of rivals, but seems to be not as good as the previous A4 B8. (Only initially, cos A4 B8 will have creaks and squeaks as it aged)
But every thing i said here is by a very small margin of advantage.
+Boon Khong Foo specifications are poorer than rivals though. No reverse camera, not the full MMI.
Hey Bobby , awesome video man.i find the carpet in the trunk an issue too.my old 2005 car has the whole trunk carpeted but my 2016 Audi doesn't . Very annoying haha
+Basil Fabian you bought the A4? Nice!
Hye bobby can you make review on c200 amg line? What would you pick between A4 2.0 vs 330e vs c200 amg line
Merc prettiest inside out. That's it
Bmw best overall. Lack lustre interior.
A4 extremely well built interior, handles better than the merc, nothing else.
Do they sell the 2.0 185kW Quattro in Malaysia? Also they should make the sports seats standard.
good job Bobby…….enjoyed your reviews. Can you do a 2016/17 Merc c class review. I am in two minds…Merc c class or audi a4
i hope too..c250 first..bcuz they two in my mind right now
how is the consumption ?
Hope you can review more German premium car, such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, etc.
Went through 330e, passat, S60... Awaiting ford mondeo review from bobby to finalise the decision..
Hi bobby did u like an idea of 1.4 ltr tfsi in a premium car
Dont mind small engines if done well. Audi's 1.4 is ok ok only, BMW's 1.5 L3 is weak sauce. Benz's 1.3 is lovely.
Why the push start button placed far up there. I prefer the previous version where it is placed near the gear stick.
+Syaqil Hamdan last time it's an option, so they have to put at a place that is 'modular', as in if customer didnt order, then they put a small coin holder there. Now its a standard item, they can put it at the dashboard where all customers are familiar with - especially if they come from other brands. And of course, look at the center console of the new A4, cupholders are placed in front of the MMI and then the gear shifter behind the MMI. In manual however, MMI is behind the shifter and the shifter is behind the cupholders. Its very modular and variable, so to place a 'fixed' feature on a modular place will trouble everything else. So place it on the dash is most logic
Hi Bobby! Excellent review. Can you do a review of the Volkswagen Vento 1.6 and TSI?
+Nicholas Wong hmm have to request though
Bro, what type of cam you are using? Very clear, good!
Crazy compartment....... Its for an umbrella
I know it's a car video, love the review, love the car, but that's one beautiful watch, what kind is it?
That's the Casio MTG
so agree about door colour! why not make it different ???
FS E I am almost 100 percent sure you can choose the color😑🤭😂
how tall are you? btw, great interior review.
bobby, have you done review the camry hybrid?. i confused either to take new accord or camry hybrid. if okay, can you make a review of the camry hybrid 😁😁
+Najmi Rahim i've been trying to but so far no chance of taking the car haha
oh i see. but if you have a change of viewing the camry just let me know... i love the way you reviewing cars. hope to see your next video 😁😁
what colour is this?
thank you sir..
+ahmad zuhud you're welcomed sir!
I've tried for many days now and I can't see how the fingers on the door handle actually makes it comfortable.
Actually, its only the new TDI models thats called the Ultra in Europe
good job bobby wang
Can you review a Lexus? Es/Is?
Why do you use A FAKE EVO PIC?! There are much more exciting and pleasingly looking options available for the interior. You obviously had a low spec car bro.
is sline b9 too firm?
the b9 truly disappointed me when i went to see in the showrooms. for the price its just too basic, everything was an option (s-line,technology pack, etc), which bumps the price to 300++K, crazy price for only an A4. compare to outgoing C250 and 328i, you know you spent your moneys worth. what do you think bobby?
+jamesc well as consumers, we have to understand that Merc n BMW not only saved on CKD, but on government EEV incentives as well. Audi being fully imported, like Lexus and Jaguar, can't compete in pricing at all. They make far less per car than Merc.
jamesc Agreed.
So, buy a yellow Myvi SE lorh...
LOL
Audi good handling comes from hard suspension and lower CG. Harder suspension and low seating position is not good for town use as compared to its rivals from Germany. Thats the price to pay
errr.... but i mention this new A4 is the most comfortable most pliant most cushy mushy of the lot .. and it still handles
Bobby , your review are a wonderful and you're passionate and earnest .. nice job , question time , is this car worth buying compared to the b8 Passat 2.0 ?
+Rishi Varmaa on paper, no it is not. But it has a higher quality interior (slightly) and a more comfortable ride. Of course in no way a bad car, but there are so many options out there. If they spec this car with what it has, even at a much higher price, it would've been incomparable for its rivals because this car actually has things like traffic jam assist, autonomous driving, all the high tech features that you can't get in rival cars even if you're willing to pay. The Passat B8 on the other hand is a very compelling product.
Bobby Ang thanks bobby , I've subscribed to your channel. keep up your good and looking forward for more reviews
Rishi Varmaa thank you so much! You can check out my emagazine as well at www.evomalaysia.com
Does it have bang and olufsen sound system ?
+Slim Stick nope :(
hello!
can you tell me if this model (2.0tsi)still has oil consumption problems?
I am so disappointed that the Malaysian version Audi A4 does not equip with digital speedometer.
+Choy Yeb Kang it does, not at this price point. Can order.
What color is this car Bobby?
Nice
alright alright alright alright alright :)))
Man fisted the car 🔥
Hi bobby! Would it be possible to get your hands on the F10 fiver for an in depth review? Thanks!
+Dave Singh which engine?
Hi Bobby Can yoh review Audi A6 3.0L 2017
Honda City review please :D
that red 911 appearing was a coincidence?
+boy638 ya wor
Bobby Ang would you recommend buying this over the B8 Passat 2.0 ?
19:08 "this fucker" lol
this or new pasaat..which more power?
The new Passat 2.0 Highline has 220hp, this A4 2.0 TFSI has 190hp, but Audi Malaysia is working hard to bring in the A4 2.0 Quattro which has 252hp, highest output in class. The reason this is only 190hp is that this is actually called the Ultra version in Europe, as in ultra fuel efficient, yet it's still above the output of the BMW 320i and Mercedes C200, which both only has 184hp.
Haha ''when an idiot crosses the road''
Uploaded 2016? What? Haha.
Anyway b9 is nowhere near as popular as the b8/b8.5 back then. Wonder why
Stop “fisting” the car already Bobby. .
I swear he was from India or something. Mind blown
+Dappa241 J who's from india? Lol me?
I noticed that 911 at 1:31
overpricing for basic car
the closer you look, the cheaper it appears...
C'mon Bobby be a little more respectful you are not the only non idiotic person here
but i am an idiot ~~ lol
what was the camera car?
+boy638 it's my S4
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you funny bruv
i rather spend the money on new passat b8 which has more spec more nicer then this overpriced piece of shit.
+Desmond Ling chill. The passat has a harsh ride, this one the comfiest ride in the segment. Passat interior no where near this
You are driving on Audi and talking about ford fucus????? What.....
Ford suspension was the one all car makers want to emulate. And since VW group snatched the team that developed the Focus's suspension, the Golf Mk7 onwards, all VWs and Audis drive beautifully managing between ride comfort and handling
Perfect Nazis car.
Bobby would you get an Audi A4 Allroad Prestige or Volvo V90 R-Design?
+Alan Latteri v90. There's no comparison. The volvo drives better too
Audi Allroad, it has better interior and exterior design.
